10:38 pm
pistol deck and take someone's life literally or with the charges they put on people. they don't, they don't feel the need to speak up because it doesn't happen to them. or last semester, you know me, but it never happened to me. yes, it could. it could happen to you. yes. like that. every staff member, everybody that i encountered, i was saying, you know, mistake has been made. i didn't do anything begging for phone calls to talk to my dad. you know, from moment to moment to reality, my mother's den would just bring an icy chill 1st thing the next morning, i was taken up front to talk to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. and in this cheery kind of a voice he says, so how do you feel about being here? so mark, and i said, you know, are you kidding? since the l a p
10:39 pm
d report stated that bruce stabbed his mother to death. busy the doctor determined that bruce must be psychotic and health is a disgrace. me is more like a house, show me the medical condition inside of prisons in california. been so bad for so long. you're talking about miss diagnosis . just barberic conditions. so a district court in 2002 said that an outside agency had to come in and take over the entire medical system in the prison today, after spending billions of dollars, some california prison still failed to meet even the most basic constitutional standards for health care, if you have a soviet mental illness, the united states of america is probably the worst place you want to be. if you don't have the money to pay for constant care. you in danger of face
10:40 pm
a law enforcement officer over here we get. so he's got to get the front a call, bipolar you are 16 times more likely to die when accounts with law enforcement. and if you don't die, you 10 times more likely to land in prison than after the national sheriff's association got together with the treatment advocacy center. they looked into it. it turns out 50 percent, 50 percent of the people who are locked up, have some kind of mental health issue. and then i was medicated. i was melora, which is like doors numbed, my brain very docile inmate at that point. warning side effects of stores the may include sedation, slurred speech, dizziness, memory loss. so the odds of fighting your case may be difficult. hopefully you have someone on the outside working on your behalf. loose was kept in the single cell 23 hours
10:41 pm
a day for the next 19 days over there to visit together. bruce and his father were confident they'd solve the murder. i met mike ryan and it's 12 step program that i was in. he didn't have a place to stay and let him stay on the couch in my apartment. and he basically stopped paying any rent, you know, worked up my courage and said that you have to go, it's, you know, i have to get your, sorry. so i started like taking some of the stuff off the shelves and putting them in the boxes, the grammy and put me against the bathroom door jamb and help the knife to my throat. instead, if you ever touch my kill you when he was gone and i thought god is gone. my mom's old my dad a day before the murder that mike ryan had been there that day looking for money, looking for food. because, you know, we know it in our hearts. i dad and i, mike ryan, joe, my mom, this is, this is the letter cisco right to to mine to after directly behind bars. and i'm sure that by this point,
10:42 pm
it has become apparent to you that i not the murderer. and this is where he turns him on to ryan as a, as a potential suspect. when mom 2 went to find ryan to interview him, he tracks him down in a jail in mississippi where i think he was arrested for breaking into a woman's house. his story was so full of holes. i mean, you could have driven a truck. he said that he was sleeping on the streets. you're sleeping in carports until march 10th, when he checked into hollywood motel, which is 12 miles away from our house at around 11 am. on thursday morning. i want to check in for sooner, around 3, i remember suddenly at 3 pm on morris tat 4 hours after my mom is killed and robbed, he has money and 2nd motel.
10:43 pm
i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to create truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence was when the thing a very disturbing media trend serving an ideology and scoring political points
10:44 pm
trumps informing citizens, we had the russia gate hoax, the impeachment hoax, and the suppression of any debate on the origin of coven now front and center is the capitol hill, ryan. what does the f b i know doing this breathing technique and then take a pool in the hill. and we don't know where it goes back to. to break down and into there is a 3 day ridge. they were just diamond fields rec, tomorrow. the judge in green, a vision, she gave me
10:45 pm
the me i don't think that mom to was out to get list or i think that he develop what detectives called tunnel vision. i had heard a lot of things about him being narrow minded. once he made his mind up, there was no way of making him change his mind. and so that, that leads to some serious problems when you're dealing with a homicide investigation. detective man, who did a search on mike ryan's criminal record. apparently using the wrong birth date. he had the wrong date of birth for him. and if he had the right date of birth, any check, criminal records back then he would have found that just a few months prior to the dork alyssa, her slaying ryan, had allegedly held the knife to a friend's throat over $12.00, which you would think would cause a detective to consider him a little more seriously. you know, for the offense he was investigating, eventually like bruce, you're going to have a detention hearing during which time judge is going to make
10:46 pm
a determination as to whether you're going to stay in jail or you can be released while you wait your trial. well, unless you have a lot of money for attorneys, you're not going anywhere. basically, you go in there with your hands tied behind your back because of the power that we give to police officers in this nation. his word carry the day, did a gun to do is supposed to guarantee it to be the trial and prohibit the use of a cruel and unusual punishment myself. i spent 15 months before trial in the county . do i made a new word is called i was petra noise. i was petrified and paranoid at the same time surviving county jail. the 1st thing that you're gonna want to do is get out. so whatever you have to do to get the money, it's worth it. you definitely don't want to be on a trout in a jump suit, one cups, a study of defendants and kentucky,
10:47 pm
found that individuals in jail were over 3 times more likely to be sent to prison than those who were released and showed up for court and regular clothes they can charge over a dollar a minute calls to and from your lawyer, your son daughter, your mom or your dad. we wanna do anytime and he counties you at all. it's not bearable because they don't treat you with any type of respect, like he's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. ok with this is a place where there's to show that hi me. innocent until proven guilty originally meant nobody should ever be denied a trial. and it was created as a protection against torturing people into confessions was established as a shield against mob mentality. in which hans, in this presumption of innocence until proven guilty, is a foundational notion of civil justice router was a teenager. he was walking home from school when someone accused of stealing
10:48 pm
a back back, the police didn't do any investigating. they just arrested. and the next thing, you know, the appointment caused maldonado do. his family couldn't afford the $10000.00 bill . he missed his sister's wedding, the birth of his nephew, and so many family events. after nearly 3 years of unimaginable torture, incarcerated without a trial, he was finally offered a deal. if he plead guilty, they'd let him go. she told me if i, if i lose track, i can get 50 years to take the time, sir, when you go home today, you say you did, i didn't do. i'm not, i'm not saying i did jail in june. he was suddenly fried with no left lanesha, no apology, no nothing. they just said, oh, case dismissed. don't worry about like, what do you mean a worry about i just took over 3 years of my life. the new yorker reported the cliffs. relatives said he was inflicted by paranoid, suspecting cops or other authority. figures were after 2 years after he was
10:49 pm
released from riker's island calif. router took his own life. the amendment to the us constitution is also supposed to guarantee the rate to be free from excessive bail. bail is money that you're temporarily loan or give the court collateral the guarantee that you're going to show up for your trial. like the rest of the 8th amendment, this idea you're supposed to be free from excessive bail is a right that's regularly violated by our criminal justice. meanwhile, the bail bond industry is making profits of $2000000000.00 a year. mm. what we would need is at least for you to be employed 2 years on the job. what you do need to pay is going to be 10 percent after 30 days in custody. bruce finally had the opportunity to post bare bail was set at
10:50 pm
$250000.00. neither goose or his father had the money. i was scared. i was so frightened the whole way down. i just thought this is, you know, keep you. there were nightmare, but i mean, this could be the end of my life. i don't know. i don't know. the most important thing that i can tell you is to protect yourself. don't talk to people. this is tim cannot elaborate on the most important rules. all the in 1986 him with 19 years old. he got involved with a girl who was in some trouble. she's living with this guy. she starts insinuating that she's being sexually abused, but like a dummy i'm contemplating going and getting her stuff. she says that he's got a gun, so you gotta be careful. the guy that we're going with, he's classical with his take on guns. they start wrestling over this gun. i step out of the bathroom, fight or flight. no excuses. just done. this is,
10:51 pm
there is no excuse for i did. there is no excuse pulled out my gun. i start shoot and listen to 25 years life in counseling prison system. tim's 1st advice to new fish is simple. start with, you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying. if you don't take that advice, you're going to dig yourself a whole. wasn't putting this out alone. i started hearing the scraping sound gets louder and louder and it persists. and finally, it was a hole in the wall now. and i'm like, leave me alone, youngster. you know what's up? my name is, bobby, i'm a christian. you don't have to worry about me. i'm okay, want to cigarette smoke and he wants to bible study with me. he is reading the bible and about hope and about now truth. basically i told him everything that i was arrested for what your attorney to on for yes and not much i'm sitting here
10:52 pm
still you know use while help you with your case. anything that i could do and, you know, by the way, do you have any money that i could, you know, i don't have any money in. and you know, if you can help me out with some money, my dad put money on his books for him and my attorney comes down and has a tape recorder some pushes play and it's robert hughes on the tape. i met mr in the 7000 module of the county jail and and you know, he, he ran down how he killed his mom. my jaw is just on the table. i can't believe it. this was my friend. it's robert hughes, christian, good guy. my case was the 4th case, 4th defendant, against whom robert hughes had come forward and claimed a confession in the span of about a year and a half. i think for about a decade, prosecutors had this corrupt alliance with jailhouse informants who would either make up or tried to solicit confessions from fellow inmates and then use that
10:53 pm
information to try to get on the, on their own case. their own sentence. there was a shift in my attorney with the tape of robert hughes. he gave up on me. i saw it in his eyes. i thought his eyes booth had been incarcerated now for a year. as long as it's been, which was in comprehensible to me that anybody could spend a day let alone close to a year, find bars for something i didn't do. now i have another year to wait, potentially. and so much trial. one of the times that i came back up front juvenile hall when they were receiving me said, wait a minute. the date of birth here goes over 18. she can associate with other miners . because bruce is now an adult, they put booth in the box, which means solitary confinement. the statewide prisoner hunger strike began 11 days ago as
10:54 pm
a protest over solitary confinement condition. and now more than $2300.00 inmates or refusing to eat solitary confinement this prison within a prison. you're locked in 6 by 9. everything is made of concrete. even the bed, you are locked in there, 23 hours a day, one hour out for restoration. you can be put into solitary confinement for any prison guard my just got you seen bowers, an american was arrested in iran for accidentally hiking across their porter. they put him in solitary confinement. i would definitely say the situation. california is more extreme. the cells in california are smaller than the cell i was in. in iran, there's no windows in the cells in california. the whole is considered torture by amnesty international and the united nations. this is anthony graves. he's an innocent man. it was wrongfully convicted, spent 16 years in solitary. no one can begin to imagine the psychological effects.
10:55 pm
isolation has another human being. 95 percent of americans who spend time in solitary report developing a serious thank hattrick condition guys because parents get the freedom in carry sleep because of the hearing voices you're more than 5 times more likely to commit suicide in iran. i know nobody being in solitary confinement for more than 2 years, which is an extremely long period of time. but in california, in pelican, bay state prison, the average time is 7 and a half years. oh, for 2 years have been waiting for his trial. been gone over in his head day after day. the judge would say what a jury would think when they heard the transcript of detective monsters interrogation of my cry, and that's all they need to hear. other lies all the inconsistencies.
10:56 pm
there would be no way he wouldn't be found innocent except the prosecutor filed a motion to deny bruce the right to make any mention of my client's name at the trial. ready on the grounds that we couldn't tie mike ryan to the crime judge turns my attorney, whatever you have the mike right tied to this as well. he was in the county, he could have done it. and the judge goes, is that all you have? because he didn't take the time to read the transcript and he was just on auto pilot. he was not paying attention. he wasn't engaged. he says, yeah. and said, we couldn't tie mike ryan to the crime. that was the framework for my child is an absolute joke. the resources prosecutors have versus justin brooks is the director of the california innocence project. a nonprofit group dedicated to helping wrongfully convicted americans get out of prison. prosecutors have a police force at their disposal as their investigators there they get the case from the 1st moment it's being investigated. they have access to all the people who
10:57 pm
are involved in that defense comes late to the day. we are at a total disadvantage. the 6th amendment to the us constitution. it's supposed to guarantee the right to effective counsel. but as we're seeing in america, you have to buy your rates. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty, and you are, if you're poor and the evidence is to take them on to telling his lies robert hughes telling his lies and no alternate suspect. and so i'm screwed. they're charging me with 1st degree murder, which carries 26 years to live in state of florida that i've been alive a day and a half in my attorney comes to me in the holding tank and says the judge is willing to entertain a guilty plea in exchange for a use for a talk with my dad. i sort of guilty plea, but you know, i'm not going to take a guilty plea and he said i, i hear you and a close friend of mine, of the family. my father's best friend comes to the juvenile home and says, you have to,
10:58 pm
you have to accept this play. so now i'm going to stop anything. i didn't do anything. you know, he says look, any pounds at hand down on the bench that we're sitting off. they are going to convert you a 1st degree murder. unless you plead guilty and he's he's practically crime as he was with do whatever you have to do to get home. ah me ah, the spine equal peanut need budget you have to do your mother. i have the value, but i again jack and jones, i died. i might as well. okay,
10:59 pm
the type the most the most difficult to find there are 410 days right? on the bank of guns based water chemical lights. and this is going to develop new to them and their international market know that these industries polluting you're simply ignored in one days that mother and when we love the mother, that means we love the the while it was saying on the show was sticking in. you've got global war because i thought countries are now competing to accumulate the most bitcoin as part of the
11:00 pm
game theory that's built into the incentive stack. that is the magic of bitcoin and was unpredictable who exactly would take the 1st step. and we had talked about possibly japan, possibly around. possibly. russia turns out that nel, salvador is taking the 1st step toward a big point, standard, making, bitcoin legal tendered, lose the brush. it says it was forced to fire warning shots after you. a worship entered its territory. in the black sea, however, london and the vessel was travelling in international waters criminal or victim, a french woman who says that she lives in fear of her husband for decades is on trial for murdering him. that of campaigners warn there is little protection in cases of domestic violence. and a report reveals that suicide by us. the veterans of the war on terror are 4 times
